Remote working can mean business as usual
Posted on Tue, Sep 01, 2009
Public health issues such as Swine flu has highlighted the need for businesses and organisations to plan for business continuity during office absences. Keeping business data flowing securely is a key concern, and one which businesses will focus on if the anticipated second wave of swine flu hits this winter.
Secure remote working solutions are in demand
Organisations such as ISEEU™ Global have seen an increase in enquiries for their secure data access and collaboration tools since the pandemic outbreak. The Global Accessibility and Collaboration Suite, which allows secure data access, transfer and virtual meetings has received particular interest.
Phil Bullivant, Director of ISEEU™ Global commented: "The possibility that many offices could face larger than normal absences this season is forcing a review of contingency plans for remote working capabilities, leading business owners to question what systems to put in place.
"Enabling people to continue working if they are not able to access the office will be key to riding out the effects swine flu could have on an already struggling economy.
"There is of course, the security aspect to consider when installing these systems. The standard software available can leave businesses wide-open to security threats and may cause more damage in the long run. Installing secure solutions, will involve planning time for consultation and installation, but most proactive businesses still have enough timescale to allow for this."
Real-time security with flexible access to data
Unlike typical VPN (virtual private network) solutions the ISEEU™ Global Accessibility Suite delivers a highly secure solution for real-time remote working - data access and data transfer. Remote users have secure, fast and 'clean' access to their normal desktop applications without local caching of sensitive data to remote devices, and sensitive data files of any size or type can also be transferred securely without risk of being intercepted or lost in transit.
For managers aiming to liaise with teams, the ISEEU™ Global Accessibility Suite allows for effective remote management. The technology means users can not only securely access and transfer sensitive information, but can also easily meet in a highly secure virtual environment; something which until now cannot be achieved without the skill and knowledge of an IT integration security specialist.
